IMPROVEMENTIN NOZZLE-STOPPERS FOR OlLfCANS.

The' Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, JosIAH H. NoYE's, of Abington, in the county of Plymouth and` State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Stoppers for Nozzles of Oil-Cans; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this speelication.

rIhis invention relates to improvements in the stoppers for the sponts or nozzles of oil-cans, the object of which is to provide a more reliable stopper than any now in use.

The invention consists in a cap for an oil-can nozzle, made to t snugly over the open end of the nozzle, or over the open end of a short tube tted tightly upon the nozzle, saidcap being closed at its outer end, and being provided with a cork stopper or packing, the cap-tube having a long slot, by means of which it runs upon and is held by a guide Wire or staple, and being cut half away on the side of the slot for a short distance, so that it can be readily slid oli' of the nozzle and turned up therefrom. y

The drawing represents an elevation of a can having my improvement shown in section.

A represents a short section of tube, slightly taper-ed, and adapted to be fitted tightly and permanently on the nozzle of the can, the metal being sharpened at the outer. end either by reaming or -swaging it in dies.

Itis connected to the section A by a link, B, passing through a slotted extension on one side, so ar-v ing. Moreover, they work too loosely on the ends of the nozzles after a short time. v

I propose in some cases to make the parte() without the closed end, depending on the cork packing for closing it; and when formed in this way I'am enabled to construct them by punching them out of sheet metal, forming the extension and the slot therein all at one blow, and then roll them up andjoin the edges by soldering or otherwise.

By this plan I am enabled to form them of heavy metal, and very cheaply.

Having thus described my invention,

I claim- The cap G, provided with the runner-slot a, and with the packing b, and cut away on one side. as seen at c, all as shown and described.

JOSIAH H. NOYES.
